3 gun Safari the only solution

[One Day...]

Currently:
.257 Wby
.340 Wby
.470 NE

Could be convinced to go:
.300 Wby with both 130 gr TTSX and 180 gr TTSX
.470 NE

 

[HWL]

The Austrian solution..

6,5x54 Mannlicher-Schönauer in a M 1903
9,5x57 Mannlicher-Schönauer in a M 1910
10,75x68 in a M1925

Iron sights only, of course

Are you sure you don't want to chase birds and add a 12 gauge to the beginning
Tee hee.

The .475 has 12 bore barrels as well....simple

 

[spike.t]

Oh just wait! He will have something to say in the morning. Mike doesn't acknowledge that the .375 H&H actually exists.

Exactly ....but 375 flanged does exist ....carried a friend's rigby sidelock in that cal when he was on a hunt in Tanzania I booked for him as I didn't have rifle with me so that cal is acceptable​

Get your coat the numbers do not flow - the purpose of this fun thread !

A pox on three different rifles. My choice would be a single accurate .375 with one box of .300 gr SPs and one box of 300 gr Solids. If it happens to also be a Blaser R8 it will fit into something about the size of a large briefcase.

[Odinsraven]

Pretty hard to beat right there. Maybe replace the the .475 No.2 NE with @zephyr ’s 1905 George Gibbs .450 3 1/4 NE ?

Heading to Mozambique in October 2020 and I’ll be taking 1 rifle. A .375 H&H. Oh yeah, and a bow!

but the numbers dont match they have to match otherwise Odinsraven will be uphappy -

You may want to book some ammo for the 16 ga in advance...
Let me know if I can assist.

It's Gert's black powder only hunt, and I bought 50 shells 3mm and 50 shells 3,5 mm.

The only ones I could get.

I have no idea, how many we will need.

Attempt #2
177 Air Rifle
277 Wolverine
577 NE

Seven has been a lucky number for me.

 

[Wheels]

If it just said Jeffery it would also be interesting..

280 Jeffery
333 Jeffery
404 Jeffery
500 Jeffery

Choose your own three....

If we can get by without symmetry in numbers but with Designers/Manufactures. (It almost seems blasphemous to include the following.)

257 Weatherby
270 Weatherby
300 Weatherby
340 Weatherby
378 Weatherby
460 Weatherby

Choose three

 

[Wheels]

-or-

The DG three:

500NE

600NE

700NE

- or -

6.5x58V

404J

30-06


Before you discard this out of hand. Consider the year they were developed.

6.5x58V - 1904

404J - 1905

30-06 - 1906

Another try on "same manufacturer", although the first one is debatably a Mauser.
